Built By Us

ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗

The construction industry shapes everything around us. Our homes, our streets, our schools, our cities. Yet the people making those decisions still do not reflect the communities they are building for. That gap has a cost. And closing it starts with honest conversation.

Built By Us is a podcast for change makers, built environment professionals, and anyone who believes the industry needs to do better.

Every fortnight, host Danna Walker, founder of Built By Us, sits down with practitioners, policy makers, urban designers, architects, planners, and the voices that rarely get a platform, to talk about equity, inclusion, and what it truly takes to build environments that work for everyone.

This is not theory.

This is the real work, told by the people doing it.

New episodes every fortnight, every Monday at 7am UK time. Find us on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.
